Upcoming panel on Geek Parenting – LCA 2009
November 25, 2008
I’ve just posted the details of an event we’re planning for Linux.conf.au (LCA) 2009 which I’m pretty excited about – a community panel on Geek Parenting. We are looking for some experienced geek parents as well as an expert or two (educator, counsellor or other professional who is experienced in matters parental) who would like to share some ideas, tips and discussion on the challenges that being a parent can present. Read the full details over at my other blog, The Open Source Report. 
On Geek Parenting – call for panelists

I’m co-convening the Linux Chix miniconf at Linux.conf.au (LCA) in Hobart in January. I’ll be able to post the lineup of speakers for the day soon, but in the meantime an overview of the day can be found here. But one of the cool things we’re planning is a panel session on Geek Parenting, which will be open to all LCA attendees.
We are now looking for some experienced geek parents as well as an expert or two (educator, counsellor or other professional who is experienced in matters parental) who would like to share some ideas, tips and discussion on the challenges that being a parent can present.
Read on for details including how to nominate yourself for a spot on the panel.
OSCON 2008 – call for participation
January 20, 2008
OSCON – the O’Reilly Open Source Convention is being held in Portland Oregon this September – and this year will be celebrating not only 10 years of OSCON, but also ten years of “the Open Source Initiative, of Mozilla, and of the term “Open Source”, blogs Allison Randall at O’Reilly Radar.
OSCON will be co-located with the Ubuntu Live conference, if you need another reason to be there.
Submissions for OSCON presentations close on February 4th, and they’re especially keen to see proposals for papers on state-of-the-art open source technology, which also look ahead to the future of open source.
